第二篇： Unlike the average parent, a robot is never tired. It’s never annoyed, or distracted, or impatient—and,according to author and AI ethics expert John C. Havens, that means robots might one day steal the right to raisechildren away from humans.   “When it comes to roles that could be replaced by machines, the job of parenting is often not discussed,”Havens wrote in a fascinating new story. “But if a focus on efficiency is valued above human caregiving in ourfuture, it’s possible that AI toys, personal assistants, or companion robots could someday replace humans asparents.”   In the story, Havens details how various artificial intelligences are already taking over parenting tasks, likereading bedtime stories and answering children’s questions, arguing that machines will “inevitably” outperformhuman parents eventually in at least some ways. He also points to growing evidence that children can formbonds with parental proxies, including smart assistants like Amazon’s Alexa—sometimes at the expense of theparent/child relationship.   In other words, we could be headed toward a future in which robots are not only better than humans at thepractical aspects of parenting, but also preferred by children over mom and dad. At that point, the question ofwhether parents should have a legal right to raise their children will come into play, so humans need to act nowto preserve that right to parent, according to Havens, “before they lose the chance.”
